Pakenham Race 4 - Happy 10 Years Pakenham Racecourse Mdn Plate
VIANARRA (5) resumes. He's had a few chances but has run well in better races than this and does return as a gelding. This looks the right race for him with Shinn aboard. KADDARI (11) is knocking on the door, just finding one better at her past couple, finding the line strongly here last time out. If she's ridden more positively here she can break through. BELCONY (9) resumes. She was last seen running second, beaten half a length by the talented Cilacap who was a recent G3 winner. Must respect. YES I BELIEVE (6) was solid on debut at Sandown Hillside, only beaten three lengths when in the market. Should be better for that and can improve.

Jumped at big odds at debut, 7th of 9 at Sandown-Hillside Mdn-Sw on March 5 over 1300m, 5 len behind Girijaala carrying 57.5kg at $26. Trialled on March 20 at Caulfield Heath over 1000m and finished fifth. Needs to lift.

Second run back. First-up after five months got back early 5th of 7 at Kilmore 3yo F Mdn-Sw on March 14 over 1112m, 5 len behind Cordina with 57kg at $11. Previously second-up 3rd of 13 at Bendigo 3yo Mdn-Sw on October 6 over 1300m, 4 len behind Romani Ite Domum carrying 56kg at $14. Fitter, minor hope.

Racing well. Most recently ran on strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 9 at this track F&M Mdn-Sw on February 27 over 1400m, long-neck behind Vivacissimo carrying 57.5kg at $5.50. Before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 10 at Moonee Valley Mdn-Sw on February 14 over 1200m, 6 len behind Dreams with 57kg at $3.60. Looks very hard to hold out.
